In the teahouse.

"Brother Li'er, I heard that many people will die every time Jingxiang Palace is tested?" The honest Ruan Jinglun put down the teacup and said with some concern.

"Jingxiang School Palace, as a training place for the generals of the Jingxiang National Army, students who have learned from the School Palace can at least find a captain of a squadron of 100 people. Wang Ruoli had already expected it, "Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, wherever I leave my brother, I will go with me, and I will not let my brother suffer, hehe!" Ruan Jinglun said with a simple smile.

"I'm not worried about the first two levels, the third level 'hunting paddock' has to be done separately, Jinglun, you must remember to keep a low profile after entering the paddock, we will meet in Mulan Terrace. Wang Ruoli couldn't help but explain with some concern.

"Okay!" Ruan Jinglun nodded and said, "It's just that Brother Li'er, you are the runner-up of the Wang family, and the leader of the Wang family's children in this palace test was not given to you, but to Wang Ruoxi, I really don't know what those elders of your Wang family think." ”

"Hehe, you must all have your own scales in your hearts!" Wang Ruo moved slightly.

"Brother Li, you said that Jingxiang Palace tested, a girl followed us to make a lot of fun, it's really strange. Ruan Jinglun said with a frown.

"Haha, Jinglun has opened up. Wang Ruoli's eyes flashed, "Things are impermanent, and demons are also!"

Xie Family Main Hall.

"Father, this trip let Lingju and Lingfu go to participate in the Jingxiang Palace test, and my son thought it was too risky. Xie Xuanji said with a suspicious face, "The current young generation of our Xie family, just these two foundation building periods, were sent to Jingxiang Academy, which is a bit desperate." ”

"In recent years, our Xie family has been referring to and following the practices of the Sima family and the Wang family, but the children of the Xie family are gradually becoming mediocre, and it is time to drastically change the atmosphere. Xie Anshi sighed, "What's more, Lingtao's qualifications are average, and his temperament is too gentle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to subdue people of his peers, especially Lingju and Lingtao, although Lingju is stable but a little ruthless, Lingtao is loyal but has a sharp personality, if you can sharpen your temperament in Jingxiang Academy, you can better assist Lingtao in the future." ”

"The father thinks long-term for Lingtao, and the son is happy and convinced. Xie Xuanji felt in his heart, "It's just that Lingju and Lingfu have always been at odds, and my son is worried about ......."

"Without a cold bone, how to come to the plum blossom fragrance. Xie Anshi said categorically.

Sima's house.

"Yue'er, do you know why your father asked you to participate in the Jingxiang Palace exam?" Sima Jin said warmly with a kind face.

"Does the father hope that the child will not rely on the name of the Sima family, but join the army as a student of Jingxiang, and give the Jingxiang military and even the royal family a face that they like to see?"

"This is just one of them!" Sima Jin continued unhurriedly, "More importantly, in the Academy Palace, learning the art of war, developing your subordinate lineage, and giving your father's permission to you is not just a general. ”

"The father has far-reaching plans for the child, and the child will work hard and live up to expectations!" Sima Yue was grateful.

"In addition, looking at the materials that can be made in the younger generation of my Sima family, Ah Zhong and Ah Nian are among the best, and the two of them have always looked to you as the leader, this time Jingxiang Palace test, you bring them with you!" Sima thought for a moment and added.

"Father thinks about it. Sima Yue said sincerely.

A partial house of the Jingdu Wang's house.

"Miss Ruoxi summoned, I don't know what's going on?" a young man knocked lightly on the door, his face full of respect.

"Brother Wang Du, come in quickly, everyone is waiting for you. The door opened a corner, and Wang Xu, who was full of mystery, was quick to move, and pulled Wang Du outside the door in.

I saw that at this time, at the round table, several young men and women gathered together, conspiring and negotiating, in addition to the bright and moving Wang Ruoxi, there were also two high-level young people in the Qi cultivation period, Wang Chen and Wang Ruodeng.

"Now that everyone is here, let's ask Ruoxi clan sister to tell me about the plan?" Wang Ruodeng on the inside spoke first.

"I won't say much nonsense, this Jingxiang Palace Test, I waited for five people to participate in the palace test, but in fact, it was to get rid of that kid. Wang Ruoxi in the center tapped her lips and said lightly.

"I heard that kid has broken through the foundation building period, and his strength is a little tricky. Wang Chen, who had been silent, played with the teacup with one hand and said with a slight frown.

"Brother Wang Chen, he can't help but be a little timid!" Wang Xu, who sat back on his seat, said confidently, "If you have a heart or not, forgive him for having three heads and six arms, it is impossible to escape death, not to mention that we will still lack a master in the foundation building period!"

"Hmph!" Wang Ruoxi, who heard the words, rose in momentum, and the prestige of the foundation building period suddenly vented.

"It turns out that Miss Ruoxi has already entered the foundation building period. Wang Du, who had just sat down, was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly complimented, "It's really gratifying!"

"In addition, we also contacted one of the other families in the foundation building period and a number of qi cultivation periods to act as foreign aid, and the two-pronged approach was a joint ambush during the 'hunting paddock' to ensure that this operation was foolproof. Wang Xu added proudly.

"That's very good!" "It's really thoughtful!" "Setting up an ambush with this lineup to kill a kid who has just entered the foundation building period is a small test." ”

As the trial day of Jingxiang Palace is approaching, from the three major families, first-class sects, to ordinary ordinary people, they are all ready to move, and they are actively preparing for the Jingxiang Palace trial.

Next to a clearing in front of a humble house.

"Dazhu, take a break, you've been practicing for two hours!" a woman with a slightly white hairline, holding half a basket of dried peanuts in her arms, said softly.

"Mother, I'll practice for a while! I'll do this stick again. In the clearing, a sturdy young man was walking with steady steps, dancing a long stick in his hand, making a whirring stick.

"Although the Jingxiang Palace trial is imminent, Dazhu, you are preparing so hard, be careful not to get tired. "There was love and concern in the woman's eyes.

"Mother, don't worry! I can still bear it. The young man's eyebrows frowned slightly, "It's just that I've been busy with cultivation for months, and I haven't been able to help my family share much farm work, so my mother is tired." ”

"It's not in the way, I haven't done much farm work lately, and your younger siblings are younger, but they can help a little bit. The woman was relieved.

"Thank you, mother, I am desperately trying to enter the Jingxiang School Palace this time, and glorify our ancestors for our old Li family. The young man gritted his voice.

"Mother knows that you have ambition. The woman sighed with emotion.

A bend by a flowing stream.

"Xiaohua, I signed up for this year's Jingxiang Palace exam. Two figures stood side by side in the fine grass on the bank of the stream, and the young man among them seemed to have considered for a long time, and finally spoke softly.

"I know. The girl pursed her lips, lowered her head and hummed, "I saw that day when you came back from the town, your face was full of solemnity, and you didn't say a word when I asked you, so I asked Shi Hu secretly in private." ”

"This stinky boy is really underwhelmed, he always betrays me!" the young man heard this, his face turned a little red, and he said angrily, "Look at me when I go home, I can't clean him up properly." ”

"Brother Shi Niu, don't be angry, don't blame Shi Hu, he also cares about you. The girl hurriedly explained.

"It's just...... It's just that I don't know ......when I will go," the young man hesitated, "Xiaohua, you must find a good family in the future and live a good life." ”

"I don't want it, I don't want it!" When the girl heard this, she was very anxious, and raised her head to look at the young man, "Brother Shi Niu, you and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and we have a deep relationship, although my parents do not agree to our marriage at the moment, I believe that in time, they will be able to see the advantages in you, and they will definitely agree to us being together." ”

"Don't be stupid Xiaohua, I'm just a subordinate son!" The young man took a deep breath, paused, and said to the girl seriously, "Even if I fail to be selected for the Jingxiang Academy this time, I will join the army, if I can't get ahead, I will not return!"

"I don't care!" the girl slurped and looked at the young man with affection, "No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you to come back!"

"It's not worth ...... like this," the young man was moved in his heart, his eyes were slightly red, "I don't deserve you to do this......

"Brother Shi Niu ......"

"Little Flower ......"

The two hugged each other for a long time.

An iron shop at the end of the alley.

"Little rabbit cub, if you dare to step out of this gate today, I will be without your son!" A sturdy young man with a burden on his back was about to leave home by taking advantage of the early morning sky, when a deep voice came from behind him.

When the sturdy young man heard the sound, his footsteps froze, and he hesitated at the door.

"Peace, listen to my father's advice, don't go to the Jingxiang Palace exam. The wooden door of the inner room opened, and a middle-aged man with black beard, holding a cane in his right hand, limped out step by step.

"I'm sorry, father, but the boy just wants to fight hard once. The sturdy young man lowered his voice.

"Have you forgotten how your father's right leg was broken?" the black-bearded middle-aged man said earnestly, "Father named you Ping'an, just in the hope that you can strike iron in the shop with peace of mind and live a peaceful life." ”

"But this is not the life I want to live for Ping'an!" the sturdy young man plucked up his courage, "Not to mention my father's broken leg and my deceased mother, who have been lacking justice for more than ten years, haven't they?"

"Peace, let it pass, we can't afford to mess with that person!" the black-bearded middle-aged man still persuaded hard.

"The child is not filial, even if the grasshopper shakes the tree, the child has no regrets!" said the sturdy young man who held back the tears of parting, and strode out without looking back.

A long call came from behind the "...... of peace".

......

On a June day, the child's face changed when he said it, just now the sky was still clear, but in a blink of an eye, it was dark clouds and thunderstorms.

Jingxiang Palace, Chu Zhaonan, who was in the twilight, looked at the rain under the eaves, stunned.

"Third child, this Jingxiang Palace test seems to be particularly lively?" Chu Zhaonan asked thoughtfully.

"Back to my father, this year's disciples of the family sect have opened up, and the civilians are also enthusiastic and have come one after another, and the scale and quality are much stronger than before!" Chu Zonglie behind him replied steadily.

"Are there some excellent seedlings worth paying attention to?" Chu Zhaonan asked with interest.

"There is no shortage of young talents who signed up this time, including the three major families, Qingxumen and Lingyun faction: Sima Yue, Sima Zhong, Sima Nian of the Sima family, Wang Ruoxi and Wang Ruoli of the Wang family, Xie Lingju and Xie Lingqiao of the Xie family, Cui Yuan, Cui Lang, Di Wei, Shao Changan of the Qingxumen, Cao Biao and Yue Qinghuan of the Lingyun faction. ”

"In addition, Ge Qing of the Ge family in Jingdu City, He Yiyi of the He family, Huan Zhou of the Huan family of Jingyang City, Jiang Whale of the Jiang family of Jingshui City, Wu Zixu of the Wu family of Jurong City, Xi Mufeng of the Xi family of Shuangmen City, Lu Xiyi of the Lu family of Xishui City, Lin Zhonghe of the Lin family of Lingling City, Bai Taoshan of the White Horse Gang, Zhu Jian of the Golden Gun Gate, Liu Ling of the Liuying Gate, Wei Baijian of the Weinan Sword Sect, Zhang Nantian of the Ziji Gate, and Feng Xiaoxian of the Mingfeng Valley. Chu Zonglie's expression was calm, and then counted, "As for the civilian migrants, 'Drunken Starling' Qiu Ba, 'Xiao Mengwei' Tian Wenlong, 'Yumian Lan' Lan Xiang'er, 'Marmot' Tu Dazhong, these seedlings are also good! ”

"Jingxiang Palace test, it has always been the third child you who are in charge of the overall situation. Chu Zhaonan meant something, "This move is not only related to the selection and promotion of students in the Academy, but also related to Jingxiang's future military generals and national strength, you have to pay more attention." ”

"Thank your father for your trust, and your son will live up to his father's trust. Chu Zonglie said deeply.
